but finally recovered, and went home.
Shortly after, he began the nudy of veter­
inary surgery, and, when completed, went
to Chicago, where he has resided for thirty
years, and is now one of the leading sur­
geons of that profession in the city.
His old wounds began to trouble him
several years ago. He grew weak, tma-
ciAted and thoroughly debilitated. His
friends began to despair of his life.
He was but a shadow of his former self,
weighing only 90 pounds, a loss of nearly
50 pounds. He had the best medical atten­
tion, but it did not benefit him.
** Finally a friend gave me a box of Dr.
Williams* Pink Pills tor Pale People,** said
Dr. Clark. 44 After taking the pills I was
so much benefited that I purchased a half
dozen boxes and took them.
44 They were of more benefit than the
ablest physicians* treatment. By their aid
alone, I soon regained my strength.
441 weigh 160 pounds new, and except
for injuries that can never le remedied, I
am as well as ever.
441 consider Dr. Williams* Pink Pilfc for
Pale People the best remedy I know of to
build up a run-down system.**
To-day Dr. Clark is a picture of health.
He is 59 years old, an active member of
Hatch Post, G. A. R., and resides at 4935
Ashland Ave., Chicago.
Many veterans have found Dr. Wil­
liams* Pink Pills for Pale People of inestim­
able value in counteracting the unhealthful
effects of army life. All druggists sell
these pills and highly recommend them.
